Many thanks Cece.

Hi everyone, Just a heads up in case anyone decides to order Daflon 500 from any online pharmacies in the US and Canada, there are many that offer this product at much inflated prices (I have seen $150.00 +), first of all the manufacturer Servier does'nt offer or have applied in both countries to Fd...

Hi All, I'm very interested in hyperbaric tents but it is out of my financial means. The unit I'm refering to are the ones used for poeple with emphysema or the poor man's oxygen tent. In reality I just want to prove or replicate the feeling I had just after the procedure. If oxygen enhancement is g...

Hi people, This may be off thread but I'd like to share my opinion with the procedures. I had 2 procedures and my first one last fall, I categorized it as a resounding success. I had instant relief and my gait had me standing straight with stamina to my legs so I could stand up for 30 minutes or so....

Greetings all, I had a blood lab test for ferritin level. Here in Canada they interpret the result in ug/L which the numbers are quite different from what I'm seeing here. The lab says the upper limit is 300 ug/L and mine was 317. How does it corrolate with your numbers? Take Care All Normb

Hi people, Dr. S arranged for a US which I just returned from. Everything seem normal according to the tech. So I guess we'll just let time pass and see how it will transpire. Have to say again Dr Sclafani and his team are numero uno. We're leaving tomorrow back home. Going to miss the great food he...

Hi CD

Hi CD and everyone, This was my second procedure here in Broolyn, IVUS was used troughout and Dr. S performed 3 balloonings. The results soon afterwards were very good but the next morning was not encouraging. Feels the same as before the procedure with the exeption that my lower back pain is gone. ...

Hi Jonhson, Today Monday, I was the patient just before you. I was set for 10:30 am but the previous and the first patient got out at 12:30 pm Sorry Johnson you were the first patient of the day and I came in second. Apparently It was a challenge for Dr Sclafini as it took over 4hrs. Hoping to hear...

Hi Jonhson, Today Monday, I was the patient just before you. I was set for 10:30 am but the previous and the first patient got out at 12:30 pm. It's my second time with Dr Sclafani. So we had a very thorough consult then I was put on the table at 1:30 pm. This time there was the Ivus so it took 3 hr...

Every Neuro Doc and including Dr. F who was my Neuro are taking the Zamboni findings out of context. They are looking at the CCSVI paradigm from a distance so not to immerse themselves to at least study CCSVI and report their findings either to discredit or to bring new views which may help the stud...

I wish being stuck with a cooperative Neuro. but mine (Dr F from Ottawa)
wants nothing to do with our pionnering way to get treated by an IR.
